The Ethernet TAP probe's default operation is to acquire its network configuration automatically through
DHCP, and optionally, attempt to register its hostname with a name server. The factory assigned host name is FSLXXYYZZ where XXYYZZ is the last three octets of the Ethernet MAC address, provided on a label on the bottom side of the probe. For example, if the probe's Ethernet MAC address is 00:00:f6:00:77:31, the host name will be FSL007731.
If you choose to configure the Ethernet TAP probe with a static network configuration, your network administrator typically will allocate the Ethernet TAP probe IP address and host name, and update the network servers so that the probe is accessible to users on the network.
You will need to follow the instructions here to set up communications:
- Physically connect the Ethernet TAP probe to an available port on your network.
- If you are using a
static address, use the Ethernet TAP probe on-board setup utility (see netparam.) to customize probe settings to meet site-specific network requirements. You may need to ask your network administrator to allocate an Internet Protocol (IP) address and hostname to your Ethernet TAP probe.
Note:
When you change any network settings for the Ethernet TAP probe, you must reboot the probe to activate the new network settings. At the
core> prompt, enter
reset.
Note:
When you configure the debugger for the hardware connection, you will need to specify the Ethernet TAP probe IP address or hostname.
The
efind utility can be used to discover any probe on the local subnet.
Note:
Depending on the type and complexity of your network, your network administrator may need to update network server tables so that the
network accesses the Ethernet TAP probe correctly. Updating network server tables requires both a detailed knowledge of Ethernet address resolution and network routing with write access permission to the server tables.
